Parts and progress! I think I've had my fill of sawing 2 square feet of metal, but hand cutting my vector lines on a smaller scale has been nice! 10 more minis to go till step 2! #wip #metalsmith #vectordrawing #handsawing #assemblyline ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿปโš’๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ #Repost @kentstateschoolofart (@get_repost) ใƒปใƒปใƒป Congrats to MA alumna, Rachel Davis! @radmetalsmith #Reposting @emstudents -- The Juror's Choice winner for SO FRESH + SO CLEAN 2017 is: Rachel Andrea Davis, Kent State University This year's Guest Juror was Christine Clark from Oregon College of Art and Craft. Congratulations Rachel! See her work and more in the online exhibition page. https://emstudents.org/ #emstudents #ethicalmetalsmithing #artjewelry #artmetals #sofreshandsoclean #kentstate #KSUSchoolofArt I have been experimenting with the flatbed plotter at @kentstateschoolofart ArtTech Studio- having so much fun taking my vector drawings from #rhino5 and printing/drawing them at a scale that I can glue to my metal and hand cut... here is my current #WIP on my bench! A bit smaller than my first 2'x2' hand cut piece, this is approx 5"x5" and is going to be quite the brooch, I think, once formed and fabricated! #metalsmith #vectordrawing #hightechlowtech #handsawing #cad Congratulations @radmetalsmith on your graduation! You have achieved, and dare I say... mastered so much during your time here at Kent State! Excited to see all you go on to accomplish! #kentjme #metalsmith #masters #kentstateuniversity #flashesforever #kentstateschoolofart #kentstatejme #kentjme Took these buddies to the vet today. They are currently grumpy with me after the car ride, but @stowkentah and Dr.Brooks are so great- I love the care they give to exotic pets! Thanks!! ๐Ÿนโค๏ธ๐Ÿน #guineapigs #piggies #gpigs #stowkentah Fast and slow... nice to have a few projects going at once! Piece on top is 1/8" steel CNC plasma cut, on the bottom is 16 g aluminum, hand sawing over vector drawing... stay tuned! #wip #studioday #makeart #metalsmith #plasmacutting #handsawing #snagmember I've had such a fun day down at @kentcaed trying out their CNC plasma cutter on some 1/8" steel. Thank you!!!! Flip through to see photos, videos, and the final cut out. Now for the final cleanup, forming, and powdercoating... #wip #metalsmith #coneflowers #plasmacutter #plasmacutting #adornment #snagmember #kentstateuniversity WIP ... 1 panel cut... Because I'm sawing by hand I simplified my design on the computer... will go back in with hand engraving to make details that respond to the lines plotted out from my vector file! #metalsmith #adornment #sculpturetowear #wildflowers #wip #aluminum #handsawing #vectordrawing #snagmember #onthebench @taryn.mcm and I had fun with our KSU Art Tech Studio Graphtec Flatbed Plotter! Here it is drawing out a cutting template from my Rhino files to glue onto my metal as a guide- a high tech to low tech process, and a cost saving alternative to laser cutting. #metalsmith #wildflowers #sculpture #adornment #wip #snagmember #kentstateschoolofart #arttechstudio #kentstateuniversity #flatbedplotter #graphtec #rhinoceros3d #rhino3d #digitalhand
